Jukebox Quotes
I wanna be strong, I wanna laugh along, I wanna belong to the living. Alive, alive, I wanna get up and jive, Wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.
Joni Mitchell
But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.
Tom Waits
Lola's was not exactly a bar. It was a small beer-and-soda joint. There was a Coca-Cola box full of beer and soda and ice at the left of the door as you came in. A counter with tube-metal stools covered in yellow glazed leather ran down one side of the room as far as the jukebox. Tables were lined along the wall opposite the counter. The stools had long since lost the rubber caps for the legs and made horrible screeching noises when the maid pushed them around to sweep. There was a kitchen in back, where a slovenly cook fried everything in rancid fat. There was neither a past nor future in Lola's. The place was a waiting room, where certain people checked in a certain times.
William S. Burroughs
There's been a tremendous amount of growth. An actress is not expected to continue to play her ingenue roles, you know, I've written myself roles to grow into gracefully, but there is no growing into gracefully in the pop world. Basically the reason I'm so unruly in this business is because I never wanted to be a human jukebox.
Joni Mitchell
I said, "I need to hear something that's going to save my life.” Re: Selecting songs from a jukebox.
Michael Chabon
You know, my temperature's risin' and the jukebox blows a fuse My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.
Chuck Berry
That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox...
Stanisław Lem
Just as the best way to judge an adult is by his or her record collection, the best way to judge a pub is by the albums on its jukebox.
Ned Beauman
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
Richard Simmons
I really think that the Jersey Boys musical - and this is just my opinion - lends itself to being cinematic in some way, because its a jukebox musical; the characters break into song only for the scene transitions.
Vincent Piazza
It's important to realize that everybody who went into country music, and most everybody who went into rock and roll in the '50s, they had no more goal than a hit on the jukebox. Johnny Cash from the very beginning had a goal that he wanted to make music that lifted people's spirits.
Robert Hilburn
I knelt at the altar of Ray Charles for years. I worked at a restaurant, and that's all there was on the jukebox.
Tom Waits
I have been called the human jukebox, yes. But karaoke is not meant for people who can sing!
Carrie Underwood
I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
Carlos Santana
To replay human existence - fine, but to replay it in the way a drunk replays a corny tune, pushing coins over and over into the jukebox?
Stanisław Lem
